Thank you.

Are there any recommendations? Home ownership is no longer my American Dream, I am satisfied to rent another's property. And I would love to be able to walk out my door and into my aircraft once I purchase it. I work up and down the East Coast so location isn't necessarily an important criteria...

My .02 cents. Get with an instructor that knows how the examiner functions. NEW FAA rules state that the instructor is not aloud to stay in the room for the oral exam. My instructor knew all the examiners quirks and which questions were a for sure fail and which he would assist with. I studied...

I hear you in regards to the Cirrus in a worst case scenerio, ie: Mountains. However, I would hate to come floating down into power lines or a lake under the round canopy. and the $10 K re pack fee also puts me off. Just my .02 cents. I am not buying a Cirrus.

BeachComber: Thank you for that suggestion..... Just found this after your input. https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=PIPER&model=TURBO+DAKOTA&listing_id=2179888&s-type=aircraft

Appreciate the feed-back and the "concerns" expressed by all. I know without a doubt from past experiences ( one of my cross country flights was last fall in very smokey conditions from forest fires ) that I would rather be sitting on the ground wishing to be flying than sitting in the left seat...

Damn, I hope nobody thought I would even consider flying IFR Without my IFR Certification. Wanting to train IFR in my own aircraft and save that $110.00 an hour plane rental fee and just pay instruction fees.

My instructor had me watch that very early on in my training. Every time I do I think of J.F.K. Jr's last moments. I have no desire or intentions of being "that guy". Got myself a great Gold Seal Instructor and nothing can replace training and practice. "Time takes Time".

I think Faro makes a great product for the price. I bought 2 pairs of the standard ANR for my passengers and put one to the test. They are not my AKG-AV100 However, they are not $900.00 either. At the price I think they hold their weight.

GRG55: I don't think you totally misunderstood, but also didn't understand 100%. I am NOT looking to put myself nor my family or friends in the face of danger. I'm not looking to fly through convective sigmets. However, time is $$. I can be working in NJ one day and have a job pop up in New...

But this one (thread) is mine. I have read through some of the other posts on the forum. However, it seems no 2 have the same want's and fit into the same criteria , so I do apologize to some of you ole timers with thousands of posts that have seen hundreds of these requests for starting...
